  • HollowayAlec
    Alec Holloway (@HollowayAlec) reported from Stretford, England

    @virginmedia is unbelievable that our Internet is so poor, trying to contact someone via phone on numerous occasions waiting for over 45 minutes to speak with someone. Still haven't been able to get through to anyone.

  • johnsonhomes2
    johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia The guy I spoke to at VM yesterday said that she wouldn’t be eligible for a “disabled” phone line to be installed because it wasn’t claimed when they dug the front garden up 18 months ago. We were never given this as an option at the time, if we had we would have insisted on it.

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @VirginMediaCC unethical practice & worst cust serv.after 50 days of total loss of service and no resolution and taking 52 pounds for that period from me now they are denying compensation as well as refund of monies taken.

    @bazza141 @virginhelp @virginmedia Join the club. I spent over 1hr 30 mins trying to get a issue resolved . I kept getting through to their over-seas call centres . It took almost 20 call re-tries to get through to a young lady over in Newcastle 😳😞. It's rediculous that they got call centres in 17 countries.

    @virginmedia Thanks for updating I've had my 82 year old dad on the phone as he only has the main tv channels so I guess its the same issue as the pixalation issues. I'll let him know

  • _AdamGardiner
    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia It works intermittently. When I speak to an advisor they fix the issue at that moment. Then, the next day it’ll cut out again and the process repeats. It was working when the engineer left, but it didn’t last 24 hours. Intermittent isn’t good enough. I rely on you for work.

  • gamepopper
    Gamepopper (@gamepopper) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Oh, my bad. Apparently the wiring outside my house has a fault, someone did come last Monday to work on it,and someone was supposed to work on it for Thursday, but it keeps being pushed back (order ref 55230469).

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • Aldehulme
    David (@Aldehulme) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to somebody regarding a broadband problem without you running a check that will cut me off the internet. How do I get past this to speak to a person?

  • sharper76
    Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just connected a new router for faster speeds and it isn’t working. I’ve called up and your customer services person who told me contradictory information, put me on hold and then hung up on me.

  • nathantalbot

    (Test) Is anyone experiencing a virgin media Internet outage in B9?

  • _AdamGardiner
    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Have you just stopped responding now? Having some system issues?

  • roslers_vest
    Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia well the woeful service in Heywood continues after “fixing” the fault this morning which resulted in me being unable to work from home the network has dropped again this evening absolutely shocking service

  • JoshuaBurns
    Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia on my second week of being a first time customer with you and my connection has been down for nearly 10 hours now. What’s going on?

  • he_tompkins
    Hannah Tompkins (@he_tompkins) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi there, I was told I would receive my replacement broadband by today and still no indication of when it’s going to arrive. Any help?

  • sharper76
    Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No it’s not, and it has now transpired that your customer services agent told me a direct lie that there was a fault in my area when there is not. Someone else has now booked an engineer to come out - next Wednesday. I can’t even have my heating on as that’s controlled vía wifi

  • roslers_vest
    Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia Submitting a complaint will probably result in an apology at best. Given I pay £1k per annum for an unreliable service it’s time to look for an alternative provider who can offer a more satisfactory customer experience

  • SiManM20
    Simon Manning 🇪🇺 - SiManM20@mstdn.uk (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia are you down again in M20? Hub flashing red again.

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia you have caused me nothing but hassle for months now. Your customer service team are completely useless.

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to your customer service team on 2nd January who advised all issues had been resolved and my sim card was being sent out by royal mail delivery. Even with any postal delays out of your control it seems odd that it hasn't arrived.

    @virginmedia Lovely. Broadband down yet again. What a company you are. Almost like you are taking money under false pretences. And guess what…. nobody answers the phone🤬

  • Paul_Reviews
    Paul Moore - Security Consultant  (@Paul_Reviews) reported

    Done with @virginmedia 3 times I've requested Comex come out and dig up the drive to bury their own cable which wasn't installed correctly. 3 times they've sent a level 1 tech with a shovel, who can't do the job. Contract cancelled. I might return if they ever decide to put customer services back in the UK - preferably with someone who understands plain English. #hopeless

  • iBraderz
    iBraderz (@iBraderz) reported

    @virginmedia Sort your service out now! Internet has been intermittent since the start of may with the fix date being delayed 4 different times. In the last like hour there have been around 5 outages with disconnects lasting several minutes. This is completely unacceptable.

  • muffy_merkin
    muffy_merkin (@muffy_merkin) reported

    @MrBenGrant @virginmedia Ditch them, I did last year. Switched to community fibre, borrowed my mates apple box and now I pay £19 a month instead of the £95 Virgin was going to charge. They even make cancelling tortuous and intrusive. Horrible company with horrible customer service.

  • ktstarcandy
    k⁷ (@ktstarcandy) reported

    @virginmedia hi, my Virgin Media router has turned to the red flashing light twice in 3 days - Google says this can be causes by overheating. Surely not?! Please help as I can’t stream TV either until it sorts itself out. Thanks

  • mechacat
    RaRa ☆ 瑠ん夜 (@mechacat) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I have had patchy internet all day yesterday and now today it is completely down. SW16 area. What is happening?

  • ACraftyOne
    Crafty (@ACraftyOne) reported

    @virginmedia I have dm the complaint number. Please issue the deadlock letter today. I have sent to your ceo as well. I hate to be scammed and so I am going to the ombudsman.

    Virgin media genuinely might be the worst company out there,want to watch footy at 4pm and their box is down,what a joke @virginmedia

    @virginmedia It says there’s a fault but hoping to fix by May 18th 🤷 I’ve rebooted the box and it seems fine now

    Nik (@ThingsByNik) reported

    @SparkyLotus @youfibre I’ve had You Fibre and Virgin Media knocking last few last weeks, so seems it’s still a thing for broadband sales. I always say that I will never buy anything that someone knocks at my house to sell.
